    Today I join Big Oil

    While I have frequently argued a pro-business, I can now confirm that I will be moving over from my law firm to a position inside reasonably big oil company for the perks of benefits and stock options etc.

    So my bias will get stronger since if you nationalize my company's assets, you are stealing from me and my child

    If you're going to sell out - do it big.

      Cha ching!
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          Hey, most of my stocks are in big oil - you can't ignore a sure thing!

          Those and tobacco companies...

          Not to mention my pension from working at Shell in the late '80's early '90's...
          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

              Hey MOBIUS, you forgot to mention the stocks you have in that landmine manufacturing company. Have you suddently turned shy ?

                  the "selling" point for me was the options and the additional vacation


                  But you will all be happy to know that "my" company is more focused on natural gas which is much cleaner than oil. ( Also by joining in summer, the natural gas price and stock price are down a little which gives the options a lower exercize price)

                    Well done. I've always preferred time over money.

                    I haven't worked a 40 hour week in about two years...

                      Additional vacation ? More than five weeks ?

                          Sorry, decided not to follow your tips in the end...

                          Now earning shares in companies that sell cancer sticks to dumbasses that want to kill themselves...

                          Actually I was thinking of getting shares in the Scandinavian Tobacco Company Group - it seems to be doing well and is expanding into Eastern Europe.

                          What do you reckon?
                          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

                            Oh boo hoo hoo.
                            When you say you're joining big oil, that means we need to lube up, doesn't it?

                              Well, I guess that you will find great pleasure in the fact that some of the money that you earn comes from me

                              I know that you can't resist this temptation, so you are on a slow but sure path to the dark side
